About the District
Welcome to the Gilbert Community School District, a progressive and growing school district that takes great pride in providing a high quality education for its students in a caring and supportive learning environment. Student achievement is of paramount importance and our teaching staff is working hard every day to provide the best educational program possible for our students. The district’s professional development efforts are focused in three areas: articulation with the Iowa Core curriculum, and striving for increased rigor and relevance through continued initiatives in CGI (Cognitively Guided Instruction) in elementary school math and Authentic Intellectual Work at the middle school and high school.
The district is large enough to offer a wide variety of student learning experiences and co-curricular activities and small enough to provide students the opportunity to participate in as many activities as they choose to pursue. Student participation has grown significantly in the past four years.
Parental involvement and community support are true assets of the district. Families have made a conscious decision to live in the Gilbert School District and they contribute time, talent, and energetic support to the district through organizations such as the Gilbert Athletic Boosters, Gilbert PTO, the Gilbert Fine Arts Boosters and the Gilbert Education Foundation. The groups are extremely active and provide critical volunteer time and financial support to the district’s various academic and co-curricular programs and activities.
Caring, commitment, a family atmosphere, dedication, community pride, high expectations, a “can-do” attitude – these are the traits that describe the culture of our district and make Gilbert a great place to learn and work. We look forward to an exciting year in 2011-12.
Our Mission:
The Gilbert Learning Community will foster a passion for learning and empower each student to become a productive citizen in today's global society.
